On the other side, they are horrified to discover an emaciated and dehydrated young woman and her toddler son, apparently locked in and abandoned.
Sadly, I wasn’t able to get hold of the first book in the series straight away, which again appeared to be putting a new slant on a story we think we all know, but the longish waiting list at the library a year after its original UK publication gave me high hopes for the quality of this second book in the series.īuilders are hard at work renovating a Victorian house in an affluent area of Oxford, when they accidentally break through a wall into the cellar of an adjoining property. In this case, I was offered a book to review that was set in Oxford – a city I know well both personally and as the backdrop to other crime sagas – and looked to be taken from a couple of recent news stories but giving them an unexpected but signposted twist.
I’m always pleased to find a new-to-me detective series close to the beginning of its run, particularly when the setting is familiar but the premise of the story is a little different to the norm.
